Take ol' buddy Rascal

Jesus and Hylebos are two different people. You have some serious re-prioritization to do, my friend.
Ok, I am not going to even mention my religious views in this thread, and I'm using this post as an example, it is probably a joke anyway but it kind of fits what set me on a thought train here.
However, why is it that somebody who either responds in an anti-religious way or starts off with an anti-religious viewpoint is more likely to be punished than someone who approaches the situation as a theist, either from the outset or as a response?
Why is it taboo to go against someone's religious views other than supporting them, when in fact it can be seen as supporting their own view in the first place, a positive outlook rather than a negative one.
Say I was non-religious and made a post saying that "[insertreligiousfigure] didn't exist", it would be seen as much more negative than saying ""[insertreligiousfigure] is watching over you]". Of course this indicates a negative in the former and a positive in the latter, but apply this over a wider variety of scenarios; in general the atheist would be seen in a negative light.
To rifle through the namby pamby vague text here:
Why would someone arguing against religion have more of a chance of being punished than someone who is arguing for?
N.B. I am neither arguing for or against the existence of anything (including unicorns) in this thread. I want to promote a sense of equality amidst a multi-faith forum.
